Lower Prices for the Nissan Leaf in UK starting 2013

Written by Leonte Cristian.

Nissan LeafIn March, Nissan increased the price of the LEAF with nearly 3.269$. This was due to the costs of the materials. Now, the company hopes to lower the price below the 39.230$ mark until year 2013. The reason ? Nissan's Chief Vice President of Global Marketing Communications, Simon Sproule : "Building the cars and batteries in Sunderland will bring prices down significantly because of the inherent savings – certainly below the original launch price."

From Nissan UK FaceBook page:

 

There are several key reasons why the cost of the Leaf has had to be increased. Firstly, an increase in the cost of Raw materials - there has been significant inflation in the cost of raw materials which has meant that most Nissan models will be included in this price increase (maximum of any other model is 1.8%). Also exchange rate fluctuations has played a part on the price increase.
